Hepsia versus cPanel

cPanel is the most widely used Control Panel nowadays. But that does not imply that it is the best - it has a lot of flaws and it has had them for such a long time that they are no longer considered faults by the majority of people. But just because something was OK in the year 2000 doesn't mean that the same thing will be OK now.

Here are the most critical distinctions between the cPanel web hosting Control Panel and the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel:

1. Domain/billing/website controls

With Hepsia, you can manage your site, domain name and billing with ease, from a one single location.

With cPanel, you have 2 different Control Panel interfaces - one for your website and another one for your invoices and domains.

2. File structure

With Hepsia, each domain has its own separate folder.

With cPanel, you have 1 main domain folder and all other add-on domain names are located inside it.

3. File Manager

With the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can take advantage of drag 'n' drop file upload right into the File Manager. It also supports archive/unarchive functions and right-click context menus.

After some recent updates, cPanel's File Manager works and looks much better. In spite of that, it offers neither drag-and-drop file upload functionality, nor archive/unarchive functions.

4. Free bonuses

With Hepsia, you receive a lot of cost-free extras.

With cPanel, the free-of-cost extras you obtain depend on the hosting packages provider, which means that you can also obtain a stripped-down cPanel with nothing else.

5. Control Panel speed

Tests have shown that the Hepsia hosting CP is 3 to 5 times faster than the cPanel web hosting Control Panel.

While with the The cPanel Control Panel you can get the work done, it's based on ideas from the year 2000 and can be slow at times.

6. Mutli-domain controls

Administering 10 different websites with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel is not harder than managing 1 or 2 websites.

Hosting more than 10 websites in a single cPanel account is indeed tough.

7. Control Panel navigation

The Hepsia Control Panel lists only the most essential sections on the home page and you can navigate using drop-down menus available in all of the sections.

The cPanel CP lists all available icons on the home page. To navigate between sections, you constantly have to go back there.

8. Demo accounts

The Hepsia Control Panel offers a full-fledged demo version with just a couple of functions disabled. You can even set up an entire website and see how it looks like before choosing whether or not to sign up.

The cPanel web hosting Control Panel offers a stripped-down demo, which will only give you a vague idea of what the cPanel hosting Control Panel can do.

This list can carry on and on. But instead of simply reading about these web hosting Control Panels, why don't you give the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel a shot with our Live Demo and discover for yourself how easy hosting can be?
